Diary - Mar 20 to Mar 26 2021

Sat Mar 20 2021

Sleep 0530 to 1400. (8-1/2 hours)

  • Spent a few hours gathering my tax documents in pdf (or screen shots if I couldn't find the electronic copy). Uploaded to Box for my sister to use.
  • Finally took the time to unlock my Optum HSA account after over a year. Now I have $10k to invest, though limited choices (mostly Vanguard and Schwab 20x0 mutual funds).

Sun Mar 21 2021

Sleep 0530 to 1200. (6-1/2 hours)

  • Whole Foods and got Fruit Frangipane Tart (they didn't have any fruit tarts).
  • KFC for fried chicken. The Outdoor Supply Hardware across the parking lot was open and had a decent amount of cars parked in front.

Mon Mar 22 2021

Sleep 0430 to 1230. (8 hours)

  • Unfortunately, Music app does not deal well with an album that has dozens of tracks, which some audiobooks do. I'm starting to stitch the audio tracks together using GarageBand and it seems to work fine so far.
  • HOA Meeting. Sonic Internet approval crawling forward. Now I understand why they want every unit to agree because they're going to do their own wiring alongside existing Comcast wiring to every unit. I'm sure they only want to come out once and not every time a new unit wants to subscribe.
  • Two intriguing points. With two cables you could subscribe to both Xfinity and Sonic Internet if you're worried about redundancy. Also Sonic says they'll provide free 5Mbps Internet to non-subscribing units. That's fast enough for a lot of purposes except high quality video streaming.

Tue Mar 23 2021

Sleep 0330 to 1130. 1 hour nap. (9 hours)

  • Finally only a couple days behind on my web site. That took several months getting closer and further away. Writing five entries a week is sometimes a lot and I get behind easily.

Wed Mar 24 2021

Sleep 0330 to 1100. (7-1/2 hours)

  • Ah, I think I see the problem with Mail + Exchange. Mail Rules are applied on headers before message contents load. If the rule moves the message I lose the contents and only see the header. I'll try adding a rule that examines message contents and see if that forces content loading.

Thu Mar 25 2021

Sleep 0230 to 11:15. (8-3/4 hours).

  • The rule seems to be working. Last few auto-routed emails have the body also. I lost about 50 days of auto-routed emails but in general they are not as important.

Fri Mar 26 2021

Sleep 0430 to 0930. 1-12 hour nap. (6-1/2 hours)

  • Signed up for Paramount+. Let's see if I can watch all the Star Trek shows in a month.
